Myers also will spend six months in jail, with credit for time served and 33 days remaining. However, if she violates terms of probation, Myers could face six years in prison, according to the court ruling.

Myers was a driver in a chase that started in Sheffield Village and ended in Lorain, court records show.

The chase reached speeds up to 70 mph and lasted 15 to 20 minutes.

Myers was accused of hitting two cars, a police cruiser and nearly running over an officer during the chase.

Sheffield Village Sgt. Ryan Lloyd noticed Myers' 2004 GMC Envoy go left of center on Colorado Avenue. As he activated his emergency lights, Myers sped up and a chase into eastern Lorain began.

When Myers pulled into a lot at 824 East Erie Ave. in Lorain, she struck a 2012 Ford, a guard rail, a pole and the southwest corner of the building, before striking a 1995 Nissan, Lorain police reported.

Sheffield Village officer Ryan Sayers pulled his cruiser into the lot and Myers drove around the building, fishtailed and struck the left front side of his cruiser, disabling it and causing minor injuries to Sayers, police said.

Lloyd continued to pursue her through eastern Lorain and back to the area of 824 East Erie.

When she returned to the parking lot, Sayers was standing outside of his patrol car waiting for a tow.

Sayers drew his gun and fired three shots, disabling the Envoy's left front tire and Myers' vehicle spun out, police reported. Myers attempted to flee on foot and officers tackled her to the ground and handcuffed her after a struggle, police said.

She took a Breathalyzer test and had a reading of 0.08, police reported.
